I think there should be a match with Yasser Seirawan against rybka , Larry Kaufman did you think of yasser for a match against Rybka .

Are you the guy who claimed he would give $200,000 USD and probably wasn’t wearing any shoes? Hehe Hehe
Seirawan is not active in chess and a 2700 GM would require mega-bucks even if they lose!?

Hi Kaustubh,

Yet, once again the American educational system shows just how flawed it is-could you imagine if this guy with the literary deviated septum ever made it into the diplomatic service-he'd have to do it on the republican ticket. He would probably start a nuclear war where even North Korea failed.

Best Wishes,

Robert

Hi Robert,

I could not have put it better myself.

Thanks,

Harvey :-)

It's not a question of thinking of opponents. We publicized our offer and got six replies, then made a choice. Naturally if we had megabucks we could be more picky, but that was not the case. Of course I would accept Seirawan if he were interested, we were on friendly terms, but he lives in Holland now I believe and rarely plays, and anyway I believe he is rated below Ehlvest. I did communicate with Kamsky about the match, but he wanted far more money than was available.
